Gender, The body, and the Gaze
Sextuality is an issue related to the biology. Sex refers to the biological distinction between females and males. The two sexes have different primary sex characteristics. Mature females have wider hips, breasts to allow for pregnancy, giving birth and breast-feeding.
Matured males, on the other hand, develop more muscle in the upper body, and deeper voices. Many people understand little about sexuality. For most people, sex has been a culture taboo in Asian society. But sex-Industry(prostitute) is still busy with great sale.
People in western countries, they kiss in public, the Chinese kiss only in private. The Maoris rub noses.
Culture can define the two sexes very differently. In ancient time, women take care of children, cook and clean and men do the hunting, repairing and hunting. Cultures have in defining what is feminine and what is masculine. Some men in African tribes are proud of a display of dress-up, beauty, but most people in our society would think it as feminine.
Women struggled the equality with men. In general, women fare better in rich countries tha in poor countries. In Asian countries, most parents hope their first-born will be a boy rather than a girl. China has continued one child policy to limit China’s population growth. The rule has caused abortion, abandonment for female infants. It resulted the big difference of birth rate between male and female infants.
Talking about gender indentify, we knew some famous artists who are conflicting their sexuality. Marcel Duchamp was a cross-sexuality. Andy Warhol was a openly gay, Shigeyuki…., how about lesbian from the modern art history? Artists are especially emotional that’s why
they can create arts. Now free love is commonly supported by most of people. “ I do what I like, not what the people want me to do”. I feel more and more people talk about the gender issues from media(TV,radio, movie..). I am suspicious about some people are not a real gay but announce they are gay openly. I t has became a general issue, I don’t think we need to purposely mention about it.
During this contextual course, let me think of Georgia O’Keeffe(1887 ~1986 America) and Frida Kahlo(1907~1954 Mexica) . They both are artists who like express sexuality(woman’s body, organ) by metaphoric way into their drawings. Their powerful, passionate painting style imply an extraordinary mythic atmosphere.
I will do further research about their personality ,backgrounds and art –style.

Great, this is wide-ranging, but also you have declared a couple of artists you would like to study in more depth, that's an excellent start! TX
